High-Performance Compiled Chains

Unlike traditional frameworks that rely on runtime array slicing, recursive closures, or iterator allocations for every incoming request:

• Node.js: Volten dynamically compiles the middleware array into a single, flat, optimized JavaScript function via compileMiddlewareChain. This eliminates recursion and function-call overhead on hot paths.
• Edge Runtimes: In sandboxed edge environments (where new Function is disallowed), Volten uses an optimized dynamic runner (createDynamicMiddlewareChain).
